paulhammond.org: Conditional classnames

Interesting use of conditional comments:

If you use this HTML:

<!--[if IE ]>
  <body class="IE">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
  <body>
<!--<![endif]-->

with CSS that looks something like:

div.foo {
    color: inherit;
}
.ie div.foo {
    color: #ff8000;

then you get all of the advantages of using conditional comments to work around problems in Internet Explorer, without the extra HTTP request of an IE-only stylesheet.
